Configuration and Operation Overview
To best use the vSLM 2 secure management software, review the setup and configuration process outlined below before undertaking the tasks detailed in Chapters 6-10.
Note: Throughout this user guide, the term "administrator" means the person using the
sysadmin user name and those members of the Administrators Account Group permitted
to perform the task.
Following is an overview of the tasks the administrator and other users perform to configure and use the vSLM 2 secure management software, in roughly the order performed.
The typical user employs vSLM 2 software as follows:
Searches for Lantronix Devices and other Ethernet devices.
Connects by browser, SSH, or Telnet to Lantronix Devices and other Ethernet devices, and additionally, by secure channel to SLC devices and other vSLM 2 secure management software.
Accesses notes and logs about the management devices and their ports. The administrator performs the following configuration and maintenance activities:
Updates vSLM 2 firmware and configurations.
Configures properties of the log files.
Manages syslog, portlog, auditlog, upgrade, configuration, session, and trap files.
Configures an SNMP agent.
Configures and views events.
Updates firmware on Lantronix Ethernet devices (including SLM, WiBox, UDS™, Spider, RPM/SLP, and SLC devices).
Step 1: Configure Network Settings
The administrator enters the network settings that enable the vSLM 2 secure management software to access the network, manages modems, and sets up IPv4 filter sets
Step 2: Define Authentication Methods
The vSLM 2 software supports LDAP, RADIUS, NIS, Kerberos, TACACS+, and SSH public key authentication. Remote authentication is optional. The administrator can opt to use only local authentication.
Step 3: Set Up User Account Groups and Accounts
The vSLM 2 secure management software comes with four types of account groups:
6: Configuration and Operation Overview
account groups of each type (except Administrators) and create and assign accounts to the account groups.
The administrator can create additional administrator accounts that have the following rights enabled or disabled:
Network Settings
Authentication
Services (e.g., SNMP and syslog, Date and Time, and Maintenance)
Device Management
Accounts
Events
File Management
Step 4: Auto-Detect Devices
The administrator uses auto-detection methods to find Lantronix devices and other devices on the network and to add them to the vSLM 2 database for the vSLM 2 secure management software to manage. There is no need to add a device manually, although that option is available. Currently, auto-detect supports Lantronix Discovery Protocol (LDP) for SLC console managers and other Lantronix devices, the Lantronix SCS05/20 device discovery protocol, and SNMP for RPM/SLP, SLK, and all other Ethernet devices.
Step 5: Associate Account Groups with Ethernet and Managed
Devices
Once the vSLM 2 administrator adds account groups and Ethernet devices, the next step is to associate the account groups with the Ethernet devices and managed devices (devices attached to Ethernet device's ports) to which they will have access. In the case of SLC console manager or SCS console servers, permissions also allow specific account groups listen-only access or full bidirectional control.
Step 6: Manage Devices
The user selects Ethernet devices from the menu's tree structure or enters search criteria to search for Ethernet devices, ports, and managed devices. The user then views port settings (if the device has ports) and can connect to an attached device through a web browser or the CLI. For ease of communication and management, managed devices that link together device ports (e.g., SLC, SCS, SLK, and RPM/SLP device) may be created or "fused'' together. Users may then manage all of these ports through the managed device on a single web page. In the case of an SLC or another vSLM 2 software, the user can make a secure channel connection through which the vSLM 2 secure management software forwards user permission information so a secondary login is not required. For SLC devices, once a secure channel has been set up, the user can make a web channel connection.

Step 7: Maintain the vSLM 2 Software
The vSLM 2 secure management software enables the following maintenance tasks: SLM Firmware Updates: The SLM administrator updates the SLM firmware.
Auto-Save: The administrator saves the configuration of one vSLM 2 software on another SLM. If there is a need, the second vSLM 2 secure management software can "become" the first vSLM 2 software.
Configuration Save and Restore: The administrator saves and restores system configurations, providing rapid recovery of inadvertent configuration changes.
User Log (Audit Trail): Every successful login, logout, and command on the command line interface and web is logged into a database table. The administrator reads this information from the CLI or web and creates an audit report for one or multiple users.
Events: The administrator defines alarms and triggers that constitute an event. Events are sent to specific users or recorded on the syslog or on another device through an SNMP trap.
Files: The administrator manages (imports, exports, deletes, and renames) and views upgrade, configuration, syslog, audit log, port log, sysconfig, device session, and trap files.

Network and Modem Settings
This chapter is primarily for the administrator. It explains how to enter the network configuration, IPv4 filters, and modem settings for the vSLM 2 secure management software using the vSLM 2 web interface or the CLI. If you used a procedure in Chapter 3: Quick Setup Utility to get your unit up and running on the network, you can add or update settings here.
